I received product from eMedia Music for my review. All opinions are my own. Both of my daughters, ages 5 and 7, have shown an interest in music. They love to make up songs and sing them. They both have guitars and love to put on shows for us. When we go to my in-laws’ house, there is a plethora of musical instruments for them to play with. I didn’t grow up in a musical family so I am glad that my daughters can explore music through my musical in-laws. Recently, my oldest daughter told Read more [...]

    Thank you Vtech for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. My daughter is a little explorer. She likes to 'test' everything by pushing on buttons, pulling, sliding, spinning whatever she can get her hands on. It's the perfect stage to offer her a variety of electronic education toys and of course, Vtech is one of the best brands out there when it comes to that. They offer tons of great educational toys categorized in different Read more [...]

    Thank you Mary Kay for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. I have very sensitive and dry lips, which means I naturally gravitate towards moist gloss rather than lipstick. Most lipsticks tend to make my lips even more dry and they only make my chapped lips look worse. I knew there were better quality products out there that would actually moisturize my skin instead of drying which is why I was excited about Mary Kay's True Read more [...]

I received products from La Bella Skin Care for this review. All opinions are my own. I have gone through a lot of skin care products throughout my life. I have sensitive skin and find that many products simply do not work for me, and can often irritate my skin. I've spent a lot of money over the years on products that just haven't worked out, so when I heard about La Bella I was very excited to try it out. La Bella is a quality skin care line with natural ingredients at very affordable prices. I Read more [...]

*This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. Have you ever heard of the brand Hipoglos? It's a brand of diaper rash ointment that I hadn't heard of until recently. However, it's been used on babies in Latin America for over 60 years. I was surprised that I hadn't heard of it because it has been around for so long. The reason why you may not have heard of it is because for the first time, it's available in the US. However, the fact that it has remained in business for over 60 years in Read more [...]

*I was provided with Zak mixing bowls. All opinions are my own. In stores I've been seeing all kinds of decorative cups, plates, mixing bowls, decorations, etc for the 4th of July. They are always so bright and festive that they catch my eye. When I go to parties that are beautifully coordinated and decorated to any given theme, I always notice how great it looks. Having a beautifully decorated party with coordinating decorations and accessories can really change the feel of the party. Yet, I'm Read more [...]

Thank you to Ozeri for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Thankfully, my kids have almost always enjoyed bath time.  As our son gets older, he's starting to prefer showers more and more but the rest take baths almost daily.  Now they are at the age where they can let me know how the water feels to them but when they are little, other than crying, there is very little communicating if there is an issue.  When our first child was born, we were gifted Read more [...]

A few weeks ago, I mentioned in a blog post that I had learned how serious it can be for dogs to be even a pound or two overweight. The Human To Pet Weight Comparison Tool really opened my eyes. I had been told that my pugs were probably a couple of pounds overweight, but at the time I didn't realize how serious it was. For most dogs, their total body weight is much smaller than ours, so an extra 2 or 3 pounds is a much higher percentage of their overall weigh than that kind of weight gain Read more [...]

Crystals can make a great accent to your home, can make wonderful jewelry and can bring good energy to you and your home. Whether you believe in New Age spirituality, crystal energy, or just enjoy the look of crystals, and crystal jewelry, Crystal Age has something for you! They have a huge selection Read more [...]

Thank you to KidOFit for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.   With four young children, it seems like someone is always in need of a pair of shoes.  Their feet grow so fast and the hardest part for me, especially in the youngest children, is knowing if I have them in the right size shoes.  My husband has weird shaped scrunched up toes that he is convinced is the result of ill-fitting shoes growing up.  So when I first learned about Read more [...]
